PISCATAQUIS.

MIR. T. Mcfarland and family. of Chicago,
are occupying their elegant cottage at Moose
head Lake and will remain about two months.
The cottage is on the east side of the lake,
three miles above Gteenvlle, and is a hand
some and conveniently built structure. Mr..
Mcfarland owns | 900 acres of land near the
lake, and this is his eighteenth season at
Moosehead.
The owner. of the steamers Governor &C.
burn and Fairy have made arrang pelts by
which those steamers will run on Moosehead
Lake in connection with the trains on the
Piscataquis railroad. The Governor Coburn
will connect with the up train which arrives
at Greenville at noon, and the Fairy with til
afternoon down train This arrangement
will prove most convenient tor travellers, as
it will enable them TO get more quickly t.
their destination and prevent the delays that
formerly occurred The small steamer Re-
beccs formerly carried the passengers across
the lake, and the new line will be a great
improvement over the accommodations here
tofore afforded. The arrangement is an ex-
celent one and will undoubtedly be appre-
ciated by travellers.

The striking engineers on the Mexican
Central railroad although mostly Ameri-
cans are not very sure OF success. The
government is under obligations to keep
the road open and will probably sustain
the company who will not yield to the de-
mands OF the strikers; any attempt to in
terfere with the operation OF the road is
an offence against the government and
will be treated accordingly. strike in
Mexico and strike in the United States
are two different things altogether.

Several railroad accidents of late have
been attributed to the failure of the air.
brakes to stop the train. The terrible
disaster OF Wednesday at Washington is
said to have been caused in this manner,
1t is impossible to affirm that the brakes
are not the real cause of these accidents, but
there is considerable doubt in the minds
of railroad men concerning this asser-
ton When first used on the roads. they
were pronounced perfectly safe; no acct
dents occurred that were attributed to them.
1t must be concluded therefore, that those
recently in use are constructed with less
care and in more imperfect manner or
that there is SEINE defect in way of adjust
ment and keeping in order. Before many
accidents occur from this cause it would
be well to investigate and determine just
how much the brake is responsible for
them.

Since the failure of the Columbian Bank
of Philadelphia most thorough investi-
cation has been in progress and has re-
vealed irregularities of a very criminal
nature. The charge is made that Presi-
dent Phillips secured control of the stock
by issuing shares to himself and other
members of his family or relatives whom
he could represent. 1t is said that in pay
ment for portion of the stock he gave
promissory notes instead of money. and
that when failure was imminent these
notes were withdrawn and utilized to
raise money, and securities having a Ger
tain face value, but practically worthless,
were substituted.

special to the Times says: Ali the
week Paris has b Gu gathering interest
in vague stories that natural child OF
the Prince Impe i,l Was about to be
produced. Gradual y these have taken
form till now their complete publica-
sion Is only a m ,tter of day or two.
The story IS gwen 20 much credibility
that the l. npress Eugene has tee.
graphed to the Due de Nouchy to
make strict inquiries. What gives
weight to it is the fact that no monsv
is demanded or apparently desir d,
and the effort is continuous to hide
the child. The mother is school
mistress in Australia Her docu nents
are in the care of Mr.. Reynolds, an
English solicitor here, aud consist Of
two Letters aud two kilograms, the
former unmistaksbly in the Princes
hand writing, but they refer only to
,rifling questions aud appointments.
The child, which was at Bsrcy, is, or
was a few days ago, at the chateau OF
the Marquis D'0yley-the Chat au de
San Souci, Bellvue-where there Is
reason to believe important interviews
are going to take place. The boy is
said to be the image of bis required
sire, snd there are sundry strong in
fluences in shadow behind him. The
story gets a good deal OF c. dence.
